An ideological purge coming from the feds will give excellent cover to employers looking to bust existing unions and crush nascent campaigns.

Incredibly smart and efficient. I keep making jokes about awkward Tgiving convos but, fml, I feel like I am actually going to end up quoting this at my uncle just to feel something.
For the New Republic, I reviewed Adrian Daub’s immensely clarifying and grounding new book, THE CANCEL CULTURE PANIC: HOW AN AMERICAN OBSESSION WENT GLOBAL, a book which gets impressive analytical traction on a protean and contradictory mediatic phenomenon:
